=== ~/.secret/.passwd.gpg ===

For this file follow the next steps:

* Step 1:
 +
Create a folder <tt>~/.secret</tt> and inside a file <tt>.passwd</tt> and enter the following into it:
 +
<pre>
 +
user1:    passwd1
 +
user2:    passwd2
 +
</pre>
 +
where user1 and user2 are your identifiers for the accounts you added in account_hooks and folder_hooks and at the start of muttrc.
 +
* Step 2:
 +
Now encrypt the file with your gpg-key, if you don't have one execute <tt>gpg --gen-key</tt> and create one first. After that don't forget to delete your unencrypted passwordstorage.
 +
<pre>
 +
$ gpg -r 0x<Your-ID-fingerprint> -o .passwd.gpg --encrypt .passwd
 +
$ rm -f .passwd
 +
</pre>
 +
=== Mutt postfix setup ===
 +
Postfix is another popular and powerful mail transfer agent which somehow easier to configure than sendmail. Let's start a quick postfix mail transfer setup that will work with mutt. Set <tt>sasl,berkdb</tt> USE flags to <tt>mail-mta/potsfix</tt> and <tt>mail-client/mutt</tt>
 +
<console>
 +
# ##i##echo "mail-mta/postfix berkdb sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use/mail
 +
# ##i##echo "mail-client/mutt berkdb sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use/mail
 +
# ##i##emerge -uN1 mutt postfix
 +
</console>
 +
Edit <tt>/etc/postfix/main.cf</tt> with and add the following lines:
 +
<pre>
 +
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587
 +
smtp_use_tls = yes
 +
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
 +
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
 +
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
 +
</pre>
 +
Create and edit above mentioned authorization file <tt>gmail_passwd</tt>
 +
<console>
 +
# ##i##touch /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
 +
# ##i##echo "smtp.gmail.com:587 my.name@gmail.com:password" >> /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
 +
</console>
 +
Where <my.name> is gmail account and passwd is account password.
 +
Convert <tt>gmail_passwd</tt> into Berkeley DB format, secure the file and finaly restart the postfix daemon
 +
<console>
 +
# ##i##postmap /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
 +
# ##i##chown root:postfix /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd*
 +
# ##i##chmod 0640 /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd*
 +
# ##i##/etc/init.d/postfix restart
 +
</console>

Mutt is a popular mail reader for Linux systems. This page is being created as a good place for people to place their mutt configurations to share with others. These configuration settings go in the user's ~/.muttrc file.

Contents

Essential Mutt 

set pager_stop

This turns off the default behavior of mutt where hitting space to scroll will automatically move to the next message when the end of the current message is reached. This is very annoying when scrolling in long emails like cron jobs, and the line above sets this behavior to off.

golodhrim's mutt config

First I split up my muttconfig in several subfiles under ~/.mutt. The resulting files will be:

  • ~/.mutt/folder_hooks

  • ~/.mutt/sidebar
  • ~/.secret/.passwd.gpg

~/.secret/.passwd.gpg

For this file follow the next steps:

  • Step 1:

Create a folder ~/.secret and inside a file .passwd and enter the following into it: 

user1:    passwd1
user2:    passwd2

where user1 and user2 are your identifiers for the accounts you added in account_hooks and folder_hooks and at the start of muttrc.

  • Step 2:

Now encrypt the file with your gpg-key, if you don't have one execute gpg --gen-key and create one first. After that don't forget to delete your unencrypted passwordstorage. 

$ gpg -r 0x<Your-ID-fingerprint> -o .passwd.gpg --encrypt .passwd
$ rm -f .passwd

Mutt postfix setup

Postfix is another popular and powerful mail transfer agent which somehow easier to configure than sendmail. Let's start a quick postfix mail transfer setup that will work with mutt. Set sasl,berkdb USE flags to mail-mta/potsfix and mail-client/mutt 

# echo "mail-mta/postfix berkdb sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use/mail
# echo "mail-client/mutt berkdb sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use/mail
# emerge -uN1 mutt postfix

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf with and add the following lines: 

relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Create and edit above mentioned authorization file gmail_passwd 

# touch /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
# echo "smtp.gmail.com:587 my.name@gmail.com:password" >> /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd

Where <my.name> is gmail account and passwd is account password. Convert gmail_passwd into Berkeley DB format, secure the file and finaly restart the postfix daemon 

# postmap /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
# chown root:postfix /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd*
# chmod 0640 /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd*
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
